a common histological pattern in neoplastic and hyperplastic epidermal disorders. They are whorl-like patterns of squamoid cells.

squamous metaplasia

affected cells are converted to a squamous stratified type from the surface of which squames are shed.

ocular squamous cell carcinoma

that arising from squamous epithelium and having cuboid cells. Squamous cell carcinoma around the eye, also known as cancer eye, is a common neoplasm in cattle, especially those breeds with little pigment in the eyelids. Sunlight, viruses, skin pigmentation and heredity are all thought to be involved in causing the disease. Lesions begin on the third eyelid, unpigmented eyelid or vascular cornea. They are fungating masses of tissue, usually ulcerated, necrotic and apparently painful. They grow rapidly and commonly invade the local lymph nodes. Similar lesions occur on the eyeball and eyelid of the horse. What makes the cattle disease so remarkable is the high prevalence rate. Called also cancer eye.

Squamous cell carcinomas are among the most common skin tumors in dogs and cats. They are particularly common in sun-exposed areas of skin such as the pinnae, eyelids or noses of white cats. Tumors are locally invasive and slow to metastasize.

squamous papilloma

the common papilloma in all species except cattle and deer. Composed largely of epithelial tissue in contrast to fibropapillomas but many lesions are intermediate in type.

Patient discussion about squamous metaplasia

Q. what is fragments of endocervical glandular mucosa with inflammation and squamous metaplasia fragments of endocervical glandular mucosa

A. It means that part of the mucose on the cervix area has changes from a certain kind of mucose cells to another, and that there is a bit of an inflammation around it. This should be brought to the knowledge of a gynecologist and be monitored by him/her.

This continues to involve the global colonial project of drawing the colour line which only incidentally involves epidermalization but more fundamentally involves the creation of a Manichaean dualism of civilized versus uncivilized (Razack 2004, 10).

As Browne's research shows, biometrics--the measurement of the living body--are, in fact, laden with digital epidermalization wherein the logic of whiteness is the measuring stick through which other racial technologies are understood.

Wiegman argues that natural history's shift from geography to the body anticipated the rise of the human sciences, especially biology, in which the tethering of race to skin--or the epidermalization of racial difference--unequivocally tied race to economies of the visible and visual in modernity.

In turn, epidermalization is supplanted by nanopolitics, an examination of the body at the molecular level, such as the "structure" of Betty Hill's skin.

The Interrupted Journey speaks from a transition point between epidermalization and nanopolitics but at the same time emphatically serves as a reminder that what is, in Gilroy's periodization, the outmoded, irrelevant raciology of skulls and lead shot is a persistent and still-powerful epistemology.

For this reason, Fanon's quote bears repeating: "If there is an inferiority complex, it is the outcome of a double process:--1 primarily economic; subsequently 2, the internalization--or, better the epidermalization of this inferiority" (10).

60) What Gilroy finds, at the end of this process, is a radically new (and difficult) humanist strategy: the anti-colonial violence of the initial response to Manichaeism yields eventually to a wider consciousness that can break with the alienated logic of epidermalization and open up oppositional, and for the first time fully human consciousness to a wider range of ethical and political sensibilities.
